A *bodhisattva*, who cultivates *upekṣā*, does not hurt or injure any living being.337 He does not love or hate anything or anyone. Gold and a stone are the same to him.338 He develops a feeling of aversion to mundane existence (or to the idea of personal existence).339 He acquires the certitude of knowledge.340 He is free from sorrow, as he has transcended the feelings of love and hate.341
